Conference Scholarships

An email from BackSpace.com cheerfully announced:

Books have made him a wealthy man, but a certain New York Times best-selling author hasn't forgotten what it was like starting out. The anxiety and uncertainty. Self-doubt. Pressure, even ridicule, from friends and family members. You want to be a writer? Impossible.

That's why he's sponsoring two full-tuition scholarships to the 2007 Backspace Writers Conference for authors whose work shows exceptional promise, and who have completed a novel and are actively seeking an agent to represent them.

And the 2007 Backspace Writers Conference states: "EXCTING NEWS! Thanks to an extremely generous anonymous donor, two full-tuition scholarships to the 2007 Backspace writers conference will be awarded to writers whose work shows exceptional promise, and who have completed a novel and are actively seeking an agent to represent their work.
